Today, I installed and ran an EXE file in Linux. Believe me, it’s true.
Having known to all that the .exe files can not be installed or run in
Linux. But how did I make it possible?
Actually, the Linux architecture does not support the .exe files. But there is a free utility, “Wine” that gives you Windows environment in your Linux operating system. Installing the Wine software in your Linux computer you can install and run your favorite Windows applications. To begin you have to install the Wine Software in your Linux. After that you can install any EXE file.
Firstly, download the specific version of Wine for your Linux from WineHQ. In the download page you can see the links of Wine software for various version of Linux e.g Ubuntu, Red Hat, Mandriva etc. Click on your preferred link and follow the onscreen installation direction. Every version has its own installation procedure. You can also directly install the Wine software from the terminal by the following commands.
For Ubuntu
For Others
